List of Sulfur Functional
Groups
The more important sulfur containing
functional groups are shown below. It's useful to remember that S is in the same group but just below O in the periodic table. This means there is some similarity in the functional groups of S and O. In each case, the functional group name, a diagram of the key structural element and a 3D
JSMOL image of a simple example.
